Our new kitchen viewed from the dining room. Finally we are able to begin to unpack all our beautiful dishes and glassware stored away in the basement since November.
Once the kitchen was installed, Rick and Martha were able to place the chairs around the dining room table. Its easy to imagine all the wonderful times we will spend here, with meals prepared in our state-of-the-art kitchen. Lynda says our new oven is so ultramoderne that it even speaks in English! Rick hung the chandelier over the dining room table, and installed amber glass pendant lights over the peninsula counter. Tasks ahead include installing the under counter and above cabinet lights, the lights inside the glass-fronted cabinets, and finding the perfect glass tile for the back splash. In less than a month Steve and I will be in Mirabel to see all this wonderful progress in person! –Dory
The dark, plastic-covered object you see in the living room in the background is our 18th century armoire, ready to be uncovered once all the dusty work is done!
